The first week of Dhifaf, we are already tracking 142 blogs and about 2000 posts, and the database is already at 70Mo :-) Something interesting is to retrieve some relevant information directly from the database, and there is already a new Top 20 of the most popular blogs in the blogosphere. How does it work ? The idea is similar to search engines such google, the popularity is calculated based on the number of links and pages that point to a blog.

While the database is updated very frequently, the Top 20 is updated once a day. In addition you can find the daily progress of every blog. If your blog isn’t listed in the Top 20, we’ll add very soon more information about the popularity index in your blog detailed page.

Note that the website is experimental, and the result might be subject of changes.

Well it’s not really a beta website as indicated it’s less than an alpha version, Dhifaf.net as many have noticed have been launched few days ago to aggregate the Tunisian blogosphere. Currently there is just a very basic aggregator updated automaticly every hour. Currently if you want to be added just drop me a message, there is no fees the service is Free ! :-) Also just a note that this is not the real Dhifaf.net which was announced times ago. I have just set the aggregator there so I don’t put everything under phpmagazine.net which started to be overcrowded. The real Dhifaf.net is a mysterious project which will be launched one day, maybe the aggregator will be moved to something like tunisia.dhifaf.net to get a permanenent home.
